There are presently 6 billion people living on Planet Earth. World Peace is the ideal that all 6 billion of them will learn to live in Peace and Harmony together, united in Holy Matrimony, until death by natural causes do them part. Lets start off small. Lets see if we can get two of them to live together in Peace.
Samuel Twain is a 54 year old Harvard Graduate, former Law Professor, District Attorney, Defense Counsel, turned extremely successful Mutual Fund Owner. Obviously we are not talking chopped liver here. We are talking Midas, in his professional life, and Murphy, in his personal life- the only law he has known is Murphy’s Law- or so he thinks- way too much. Sam is currently married to Jane, a stunningly attractive woman, popular, brilliant, composed, a ballet, tennis, golf, community involvement enthusiast, on the outside, the perfect woman. Sam and Jane have raised two magnificent children, Dawn, a 26 year old physician, married to Alan, a 28 year old physician, and Gail, a 21 year old doll about to be married to a young wonderful lawyer named Richard. They are all in perfect health, living in Boca Raton Florida, on the outside, the family envied by the entire world – a modern day Pleasantville family. Unfortunately, the entire family is caught in the throes of grief and misery, as if the Titanic had just hit the Iceberg in the Icy Atlantic Ocean late at night, and the Captain just realized that they forgot to load the lifeboats. How could this be?
Well, have you ever heard of a little 3 letter word called sex? Sigmund Freud, the father of modern psychiatry, who had intimate relations with his mother on a regular basis, said that every 3 seconds men have a sexual thought. It must have been all that time spent sitting in his chair with his stopwatch that led to his fascination with Fransz Antoine Mesmer, the father of faith healing, and hypnosis, if you don’t count the Jewish born Rabbi and Creator of the Universe, the Messiah to 2 billion Christians and 1 billion Muslims, Jesus aka Joshua aka Yeshua aka The Holy Spirit aka God the Father Almighty, you know who I’m talking about. Sam and Jane have spent hours if not days with their relationship counselor Dr. Ellen Friedrich, who is still working on the case, without any success. She is wondering how she passed 11 years of medical school but can’t seem to get the perfect couple of the Universe to function peacefully together. Sam has spent so much time bouncing from Baby Thomas’ crib room, to hotel suites, to his palatial country estate in the Hamptons alone, that when the border guard asked his address, he began to drool uncontrollably and had to be fitted with a cloth between his teeth and a straight jacket to prevent him from chewing his jaw off.
So what is at the root of Sam and Jane Twain’s misery? Well, 8 years ago, a lovely woman, Dawn, divorced from 2 alcoholics, came to work as a secretary in the office of Sam Twain. To say that the chemistry between Sam and Dawn was and continues to be hot, is like saying that Adolf Hitler wasn’t really that enamored with Jewish people. Sam and Dawn not only set the bed on fire at an age when Sam should be going blind from Viagra, but they also have a blazing red hot friendship. At the same time, Sam is still madly in love with Jane, even though 30 years of practice seems to have cooled off the sheets somewhat. One would think that of these 3 intelligent and mature adults, at least one of them after eight years of this relationship turmoil would have been able to say good bye to one of the others, but unfortunately we are dealing here with human beings, and life is not that simple.
Sam cannot bring himself to leave Jane because he loves her so. Sam cannot bring himself to leave Dawn because he likes her so and Dr. Freud may have been wrong – it may have been every 2 seconds. Dawn cannot break up with Sam because he is the answer to all of her financial emotional sexual and life problems, and Jane cannot bring herself to throw Sam out of the house because she so loves Sam, and knows that even half a husband is better than cyber dating - an endless series of coffee dates with every mishegena in the world and their own shtick galore. Perhaps this is the answer to World Peace – it’s never going to happen. Maybe the Black Eyed Peas were right - we’re all too addicted to the drama. http://www.thetempleoflove.com (The Peace Site)

Putting Romance Back Into
Your Marriage
by: Mark McAuley
Let me start by saying I am not a psycholigist or therapist, I am just
a guy, who was married for 16 years, until that ended about a year and a
half ago. I am now in a new and exciting relationship, which I believe
will work out great. I am forty years old and just speaking from
experience. Hopefully these tips I give you will spice up your love life
again.
Often times in a marriage or long-term relationship, couples tend to
fall into a routine. What maybe started out as a very romantic
relationship, begins to slow down as bills, children, work and all the
pressures of life conspire to give us stress and lead us away from what is
really important.
I would venture to guess that most divorces stem from this problem. You
see each other As a business partner, parenting partner, chore partner.
But not so much as a lover. You have to drive the kids here and there,
while your partner is getting the groceries. There is always something to
do,and it usually does not include being alone with your partner.
Every once in a while you remember what it was like in the beginning,
and think why can’t it be like that again. By the way, both sexes think
this, the problem is they only think it, and usually don’t talk about it.
When the kids are small, I know it isn’t as easy to make time for each
other, but the most important thing you can do for your marriage is to
MAKE time. If that means getting grandma and grandpa to watch the kids
overnight, or splurging on a babysitter once a week, it would be the best
investment you could make in your marriage.
If you could get away with your partner for a date night once a week,
you won’t regret it. Whether going out for dinner, or a movie, or a long
walk together, it will bring the two of you closer together. Plus, getting
away from the kids is a great stress reliever.
Then when you get back home, still with no kids around, a great way to
spice things up in the bedroom, is with lingerie. It may sound cliché, but
it really works. Think about it ladies, your partner sees you all week as
a mom, housekeeper, breadwinner. The last thing he is thinking of you as,
is a bedroom goddess. Believe me, if you come home after a nice night out,
and you go upstairs and put on a beautiful piece of lingerie, a nice
teddy, or corset, body stocking, or bustier, you’re partner will
definitely be put into the mood.
It will make him see you as he used to see you. More than a mom, etc.
After all, isn’t that what you want?
But, don’t stop there. A great way to spice things up is to try things
you never tried before. That could be something as simple as bringing some
food into the mix, you know strawberries, whip cream, things like that.
Then, there is always the massage, everybody loves a massage with warm
oil. Just the fact you are doing things differently will really help spice
things up. We all know that we fall into a routine in the bedroom after a
while. The only cure for that is to change things around.
